It means nothing. The pools are so huge these days and even at big tracks you really have no worrys.
If there was $1,000,000 in late pick 4 pool. And 1,000 people hit it for $1,000 each. If you gave your play to your friend and he hit it as well. For 1,001 people hitting it. That means your ticket will now pay $999. Exactly $1 less.
A smaller track ehhh possibly but still it really won't have any big difference.
Only on a Pick 6 and that's if they copy your exact ticket. And I doubt anyone taking someones free picks will be betting so huge to actually affect the win pool odds at any big track.
